7 China’s healthcare spending per capita and relative to GDP is still low compared to other nations and indicates significant room for growth potential. The healthcare market in China is growing at a staggering rate due to factors such as the aging population, rapid urbanization, growing domestic and international investment in research and development, and robust government support China’s healthcare industry is projected to be around $2.4 trillion by 20301 Healthcare Expenditure as % of GDP in 20172 Healthcare Expenditure Per Capita in 20172 China is the second largest healthcare market in the world. 17.1% 11.5% 10.8% 10.4% 10.2% 9.5% 5.1% United Germany States Japan Canada Denmark United Kingdom China $10,207 $5,728 $5,182 $4,826 $4,717 $2,999 $2,647 United Germany States Japan Canada Denmark United Kingdom China 1China Daily, “China’s health service industry to reach 16 trillion yuan by 2030,” Aug 15, 2017 2OECD (2019), Health Spending.

9 Positive for innovative drug companies China’s health insurance funds have been running in deficit since 2011. Government subsidies have been supporting the funds, accounting a quarter of the fund’s total revenues in 2018 Soaring healthcare costs with high prices of drugs that have gone off patent: US generic drug prices on average are 55% of those in China, according to a recent Credit Suisse Group AG report Chinese generic companies historically enjoy 80-90% gross margin for selling generics with large sales force Until recently, drug approval process in China was complex and tedious, blocking many new medicines from getting in: CFDA stated fewer than a third of the 433 new treatments approved in developed countries reached China between 2001 and 2016 China patients lagging behind in accessing the newest drugs, as long as 7 years Recent changes in favorable regulatory policies and national drug bidding process might accelerate development and approval of innovative medicines: ICH membership MAH (Marketing Authorization Holding) Streamlining of the Clinical Trial Approval (CTA) process Shortened Timeline for Imported Drug License Expedited Orphan Drug Review Process 4+7 bidding with guaranteed market share to significantly decrease generic drug pricing and at the same time, to shift spending to pay for new innovative drugs and orphan drugs Significant issues lie behind growth of China Pharma Market, resulting in recent government policy changes Sources: Chinese Ministry of Finance, Nomura Research, Bloomberg

10 Certain large pharma companies have always had a meaningful presence in the China market: These companies include AstraZeneca, Bayer, Novartis and Pfizer Due to the high growth and sheer size of the market, we are starting to see a variety of approaches emerge to facilitate increased exposure to the market. Examples include: Amgen’s acquisition of a 25% stake in BeiGene and cross license of rights to oncology products into China. AstraZeneca’s decision to open a $1 billion fund to invest in Chinese start up. It’s not a surprise as 21% of all AZ revenue comes from China today (over $5 billion in 2019). China is one of AZ’s main areas for growth. Pfizer’s decision to merge its legacy brands and generics (Upjohn) into Mylan and to relocate this company to China. The new company has renamed itself as Viatris, moved its executive team to Shanghai and has indicated that its plans include “building a meaningful presence in China”. To be fair, big pharma interest in China remains fairly nascent. Only four of the top fifteen pharmas break out China revenue at all. For those that do, China accounts for less than 10% of total revenue in total.

Reimbursement Policy Changes 12
Slide 13-

The national reimbursement drug list (NRDL) and the essential drug list (EDL) intend to provide basic medical coverage to China’s population of 1.4 billion, typically covering well-established and relatively cheap medicines1 Updates to the NDRL have often been significantly delayed. The list should have been updated every two years but there has been a significant lag Innovative medicines have historically faced a tremendous struggle to attain reimbursement in China Overall coverage for innovative medicines has been very limited Securing a place on the NDRL for innovative products has been a challenging issue for global pharmaceutical manufacturers Recent changes in national pricing and reimbursement policies are prepared to enhance patient access to innovative therapies Regular updates to the NDRL The rise of supplemental private health insurance 13 Recent changes to the reimbursement policy in China are helping to drive innovation
Slide 14-

China’s Recent Reimbursement Landscape shows that the NDRL updates in 2017 have increased the number of products reimbursed 14 Since 2013 Some provinces began to pilot the negotiation mechanism in reimbursement 2013 Jiangsu included 3 products 2014 Zhejiang's first negotiation included 15 products for reimbursement 2015 First national pilot in reimbursement negotiations for 3 products March 2017 New NDRL updates and 44 products entering negotiations First NDRL update since 2009 June 2017 36 products agreed to gain national reimbursement January 2018 Zhejiang published the second list of provincial reimbursement negotiations for an additional 21 innovative medicines October 2018 Another 17 oncology products agreed to gain national reimbursement

Two-Invoice System for Drug Procurement – December 2016 Structure where only up to two invoices are issued along the chain of pharmaceutical drug procurement, with one issued by the pharmaceutical manufacturer and the other issued by the distributor to the medical service providers Eliminates multiple layers of distributors and streamlines the procurement process to a large extent In addition to the layered supply chain, the complex distribution network and the lack of transparency have elevated pharmaceutical product prices The two-invoice system plans to establish a distribution environment where the prices of pharmaceutical products are feasible and affordable to the public Healthy China 2030 – October 2016 China officially passed the blueprint of “Healthy China 2030”, working towards the national goal of obtaining a health standard on par with developed countries by 2030 It is a significant move to enhance public health, which is also a response to the global commitments China is exploring methods to tackle rapid aging, growth of NCDs (non-communicable diseases), and inflation of health demand. It also plans to advance the reform of the medical insurance reimbursement methods There are still some considerable issues which includes the rationality of indices and the coverage of indices for certain heath-related issues 15 Policy Initiatives That Influence Pricing and Reimbursement
Slide 16-

The New Generic Drug Volume-based Purchasing The 4+7 program, officially launched in November 2018, intends to improve patient-access to generics by centralizing drug procurement The National Drug Centralized Procurement Pilot Scheme, commonly known as the 4+7 Scheme, intends to decrease the prices of generic drugs The program encourages the consolidation of a fragmented system for procuring generic drugs in the country, beginning with 11 major cities* The program plans to bring a centralized system of quality control in the China pharmaceutical industry The absence of such a system has permitted many local manufacturers to function in the market with low- quality versions of a drug and have made high profit margins that significantly exceeded the global average Multinationals, which generally offer better, high quality drugs, were subject to excessive waiting periods in order to attain import licenses from the government In addition to improving affordability and quality assurance, the program also eliminates favoritism and corruption as manufacturers have used their regional influence to win local hospital tendering bids The government might give the tender for a generic drug to the lowest bidder, who is assured a sale volume of 60-70% of the total market for a year across the 11 major cities In September 2019, the generic drug tender program was expanded and is now called “4+N” and has expanded: “The scheme could be expanded to an additional 25 provinces and regions, who may form a league to look for suppliers for these drugs that could be stocked at public hospitals as well as some military and private medical institutions, according to documents released on Sunday by the drug procurement branch of the Shanghai Healthcare Security Administration.” (Source: Reuters, Sep 2, 2019). The program now covers 70% of the Chinese market 16 China is Reforming its Healthcare System in Order to Adapt to a Changing Economic and Demographic Situation

Slide 19-

19 On 26 August 2019, the National People's Congress passed amendments to the Drug Administration Law which took effect on December 1st, 2019 The Drug Administration Law reflects China's continuing commitment to the pharmaceutical industry as the provisions in the law addresses key issues, which are of great public concern Key new provisions include: Implementing a nation-wide enhanced Drug Market Authorization Holder system. A market authorization is like an NDA in the US. It comes with both privileges (right to market a drug) and obligations (requirement to inform government of adverse events etc) Drug innovation incentives. Bioequivalence needs to be recorded for generics. Priority review and accelerated approval pathways set up for pediatric drugs, rare disease drugs and drugs with urgent clinical needs Rules for compassionate drug use System by which drugs can be conditionally approved Some key areas with crackdowns: Limitations on use of e-pharmacies Definition of “inferior drugs” and “counterfeit drugs” Fines and other potentially severe penalties for violations of the rules Amendments to the Drug Administration Law Source and Note: Further details are at https://www.twobirds.com/en/news/articles/2019/global/china-passed-new-amendments-to-the-drug-administration-law
Slide 20-

The rapid growth of China’s pharmaceutical market presents opportunities for global pharmaceutical companies Recent regulatory changes have allowed the implementation of future trials in China in tandem with the United States and Europe launches This is beneficial to Chinese patients as they could receive required medications at a faster rate and global pharmaceutical companies may prosper in bringing the medications to the market Recent regulatory changes may lead to a decline in redundant clinical trials and less unnecessary risk for patients With its membership in the ICH, China now follows international GMP and GCP standards that are generally endorsed in the international pharmaceutical industry Clinical data generated in China and overseas in ICH territories during drug development may be mutually approved across Chinese and international regulatory authorities The volume and pace of clinical trials is expected to increase dramatically. Chinese regulatory authorities have made changes that accelerate regulatory reviews, establish new and flexible policies for import of drugs into China, grant market exclusivity periods guaranteed for specific products, and make critical advancements to the approval process of clinical trials in China 20 Implications of the Recent China Pharma Regulatory Changes

New Policies on Rare Diseases and Pediatrics in China 21
Slide 22-

22 Historically China did not have specialized regulations or policies on orphan or rare disease drug development and approvals Of the 44 globally available rare disease therapies, only 19 are currently marketed within China, and of these 19, all are priced out of reach for the average Chinese patient China has an estimated population of nearly 20 million people suffering from a rare disease China started to issue regulation guidelines in early 2018 with the goal to accelerate the filing, approval and data exclusivity of rare disease products that were already on the market in the West The first official policy and list of 121 rare diseases were jointly issued by NHC / NMPA / MOST* on May 11, 2018 Overseas data could be accepted for NDA submissions for these 121 drugs based on policy update on May 23 2018 3 months review for rare diseases vs. 6 months for others Effective March 1, 2019, value-added tax for 21 orphan disease drugs is expected to drop to 16 percent from 3 percent, according to the announcement by China’s State Council to stimulate rare disease market Additional 26 drugs were added on May 29, 2019 by CDE. These drugs were already approved outside of China and would receive expedited approval in China Environment Increasingly Favorable for Rare Disease Drugs *CDE: Center for Drug Evaluation, directly involved in the clinical trial application and drug registration approval process *NHC: National Health Commission responsible for managing ethics committee nationwide, establishing the National Committee of Medical Ethics Experts, and for developing policies relating to ethical review *NMPA: National Medical Product Administration is the regulatory authority responsible for clinical trial oversight, approval and inspections for drugs to be registered in China.

Slide 23-

23 China is still at infancy stage with its regulatory policies on rare diseases. We are expected to see significant improvement in regulatory policies and increase in drug approvals to address the unmet medical needs The current Chinese rare disease list gives priority to rare diseases with a relatively high prevalence in China, that pose a heavy burden, and that are highly treatable For companies with rare disease drugs that have been approved already outside of China we recommend consulting and interacting with CDE (Center for Drug Evaluation) as early as possible in order to reduce registration timeline in China For products still under development outside of China, under the current policy companies cannot submit for NDA approval. To enter into China at the same time or earlier than US or European approval, we recommend finding a local Chinese partner and let the partner participate in global trials. Under the Data Protection Regulation (still in Draft stage), if approved, the drug would enjoy 12 year data exclusivity in China Impact and Considerations for Rare Disease Drug Registration in China

Typical Deal Structures 33
Slide 34-

Historically, the time to complete an outlicensing China deal for Torreya (from start to finish) averages six months Certain types of projects can go more quickly and others more slowly R&D projects take substantial education and engagement. In contrast, commercial asset sales can get done in as little as three months Manufacturing and supply is an important component in licensing: Most Chinese companies prefer to tech transfer manufacturing to China To enjoy benefits of tax breaks, land purchase and support in regulatory approval To control supply To be competitive in COGs The regulatory filing pathway is driven by where drug is manufactured: IDL (Imported Drug Filing): drug made outside China Domestic Drug Filing: drug made in China by local manufacturer Depending how your choice of product supply, you might have different obligations and responsibilities For IDL pathway, the Chinese drug administration requires site audit and compliance to Chinese regulation Licensing is the most common type of deal structure, with an upfront payment, milestones and a royalty system 34 Doing a China Licensing Deal

Therapeutic Area Breakdown and Deal Statistics Cancer Focused Deals Lead China Licensing Activity The table at left shows the breakdown of China in-licensing deals by therapeutic area. The disease burden and payment system is different in China than in the West. By far the greatest area of licensing activity has been cancer (39.5%) followed by cardiometabolic (10.5%). Other popular areas for deals include anti-infectives, hospital, pain, GI, dermatology, inflammation, CNS, stroke and virology. The TA with the highest average upfront has been liver disease followed by CNS. The highest total deal averages have been associated with Hematology and Gastrointestinal medicines.

44 Comparison to Japan In-Licensing Deals The tables at left shows the breakdown of China in-licensing deals by phase of development versus Japan in-licensing deals. The average upfront on a Japan deal is 3.5x times higher than that for a China deal. The total deal packages for Japan are about 3.1x times of Chinese ones. The difference is a reflection, of course, of the economic value of products in each territory. With a GDP/Capita almost five times higher, the ability to achieve higher pricing for products in Japan more than outweighs the larger size of the Chinese population. We do expect to see the gap in deal economics between the territories narrow in the years ahead.
